He’s using Trump’s Twitter tactics by throwing stuff out there to see how the world will react. Isn’t he supposed to be working on a game based on a Hollywood movie franchise? He said we would know everything very soon but still nothing yet (unless I missed the news!)

What is the Mad Box? It's the most powerful console ever built... It's literally 'Mad'... You want 4k, you want VR at 60FPS? You want a full engine for free to develop your games on it? You have it."

On the serious note, I've heard similar promises very often, most of them failed. There are 3 big consoles already out there, if it won't have exclusives or interesting games developed for it it will be dead no matter how hard they push it. Xbox One is already dying, PS4 is in a good place because of the exclusives and the Nintendo Switch is an interesting (mostly) handheld console with a constantly growing game list for it.

Yea, this doesn't add up. Either it's all hopes and dreams at this point, or they are planning to sell a $3000 PC in a smaller form factor and call it a "console" like the various other attempts at this.

People who read this stuff need to understand that hardware costs money. If Sony or Microsoft could have a box that did 4K at 60FPS (or 120FPS ), the power to handle high-end VR (essentially running two separate screens at 1440x1600 @ 90FPS) and charge a reasonable amount of money for it.. they'd have done it. Everyone would've done it. It's hard enough to get a solid 4K/60, on a single screen, with games using cutting-edge rendering, with even the best PC hardware out there today.. and that costs tons of money.
